Melissa D, ‘a hidden jewel,’ performs at Brandon Music

Saturday, Feb. 9, 7:30 p.m.—BRANDON— Brandon Music welcomes for the first time Melissa D and Friends on Feb. 9 at 7:30 p.m.

Singer/songwriter Melissa D began her singing career as a painfully shy 6 year old in a southern Vermont church where, in those moments, quietness fell away and revealed a genuinely beautiful voice that immediately set her apart from the rest. It took years of personal growth to shake her inner demons and move forward to pursue her music dreams, but she persevered and achieved her goal.

Although classically trained, Melissa fell in love with rock and roll and later became front-woman for The Alley Katz and also a member of Chill, an acoustic act. She currently performs as an Americana folk/rock solo artist who, from time to time, dips her toe into Country. Her music is relaxing with reflective lyrics that take you on an emotional journey.

Melissa D performs with Rutland’s Phil Henry and special guest Steve Latanision, a stellar multi-instrumentalist and graduate of Berklee College of Music.

Concert tickets are $20. Reservations are recommended. Venue is BYOB. Call 802-247-4295 or email info@brandon-music.net for reservations or for more information. Brandon Music is located at 62 Country Club Road, Brandon.

This event is a part of Vermont Arts 2019, celebrating arts in Vermont.
